. The invention relates to. improvements in i portable pipe vise stands as described in the present specification and shown in the accompanying drawings which form part of the same. e

The object of the present inventioniis to 7 provide a stand of this nature in which the weight of the workman using the stand is utilized to anchor it against movement. This is attainedby the provision of azplat-form connected to the base of the stand, A very distinctive feature of the invention isthat .it is devised to 'compactlyqfold for. trans- Ipo rtationpurposes l v 'Referring to the drawingszliigure 1 is a side elevation ofthe stand showing'it erected j ready for use. v V

Figure 2 is a plan view; thereof.

Figure 3 is a frontelevationof the'stand 2 folded for transportation. 1, i c 7 "In the drawings, the reference numerals 5' and 6 designate a pair of legs rigidly connected at the top to a plate 7 apertured as .at 8 in order that it may be attached, to the pipe vise which is not shownin' the drawings 1 as it does not form a part of thepresentim' vention. The legs are constructed: of angle iron and extend outwardly and forwardly from the plate 7 .in order that they may have a firm footing for supporting the vise. 7

9 is a prop which is'pivoted at its top end as at 10 at a point beneath the table 7 in order that .it maybe swung outwardly from the legs to form therewith atripod.

' 11 is a crossbar rigidly connecting-the legs 5 and 6together, and positioned slightly above the longitudinal centre thereof. 12 is of the leg sb and'6. slats extend from side as shownfrom an inspection of Figure 2. Thesesl'at's are rigidly attached to the frame 17 by suitable fastening elements. The ends 20, 20of the frame are pivotally attachedto 21 in order that the platform may be swung whe folding the stand.

What I claim is upwardly so as to lie flat against the legs i I i t'ofside-of the platform. and are spaced apart thejbaseof the legs-by means of the pintle j 1. A standof'the class described, compristhese two legs for folding against the same;

ing several converging legs, a platform pivoted to two of the legs, said platform .1 having its sides converging at an angle corresponding to the angle 1 of convergence of 2. .A standof theclass described, comprising an apertured plate, a pairof angle-iron legs 'rig idly aflixed thereto and diverging towards their lower ends, a crossbar tying thelegs togetherintermediateof the length,

a prop pivotedto the legs in the vicinity of the plate, a hook-swingably attached to said crossbar, an eye membersecured to the prop for receiving. the hook, an angle-iron frame havingits sides converging at anangle corresponding: to the angle of convergence of the aforesai'd'legs, slatssecured to the frame to compose "a platfor'm, and a pintle swingably attaching the ends of the frame to the lower :ends of thelegs."

a hook swingably attached to the crossbar 11 l by means of an eye member 13. The down- 40 wardly turned end 14 engagesin an eye member 15 rigidly secured to the prop 9.

From this construction it follows that the j hook 12 secures the prop 9in spaced relation 1 a. to the legs 5 and 6,'but when it is desired i V to fold the stand the hook 12 is disengaged from the eye member 15 so that the prop may be swung inwardly to lieflat-against the legs.

16 is the platform consisting of an angle iron frame 17 of which the sides 1.8, 18 con verge on an angle corresponding'tothe angle if
